Not many ppl run these for some reason, but I have seen a couple of guys with them and they said they fit well and quality is great. BB has good quality stuff but I think I remember reading that the collector design on those was kinda iffy.

Looking on their website, the headers and x-pipe do look very high quality. One thing that is interesting is the headers use a donut gasket to connect the headers to the x-pipe. That is a good design and should seal very nicely.

Don't know if their fitment is good or not.

My Kooks fit perfect. My previous ARH's did not.

I already have their mid pipe so going to be the guinea pig and try their headers. Hoping the fitment doesn't suck!

Or you could sell me the mid pipe and go with another brand and buy the headers and x pipe together! 😛
If you buy them good luck I’m sure they are great quality and will prob fit just fine.

And that’s fine all I have is a Billy Boat axle back and was just wanting a matching X pipe but I’ll prob end up buying headers and an x pipe soon. Possibly BB if you are happy with yours!
